Manhattan apartment vacancies climbed to 16,145 in October - the highest level in 14 years - despite rent prices falling 16% from last year

The number of empty apartments in Manhattan reached its highest level in 14 years last month despite rents dropping to record lows as landlords desperately try to bring in new tenants.  A market report released this week found 16,145 rental apartments in Manhattan sat empty in October, a slight increase from the 15,923 vacancies the month before.   That rate has tripled from the nearly 5,100 vacancies this time last year as many New Yorkers who fled from the Big Apple at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic have yet to return as the city weathers a struggling surge in crime.   The report, from appraiser Miller Samuel Inc. and brokerage firm Douglas Elliman Real Estate, shows that Manhattan's vacancy rate hit a record high for the sixth month in a row at just over six percent - up from the one to two percent prior to the pandemic.    Meanwhile median rent in the city has plummeted by nearly 16 percent over the course of this year to $2,868, the lowest level in nine and a half years
